The median of the data 10, 15, x, 25, 30 is 20. Find x.
20
The data 10, 15, x, 25, 30 has 5 values, and it is already arranged with x in the middle position, between 15 and 25.
For 5 values arranged in order, the median is the 3rd (middle) value, which here is x.
Since the median is given as 20, x must be 20, and this value fits consistently between 15 and 25 in ascending order (10, 15, 20, 25, 30).
